I've heard of using regular window tint and soap water. That's removable if you ever decide you don't like it or that you don't like getting pulled over for it.

The Vht nightshade is what I used on my car also.. and like someone on here said, sand it lightly with some high grit sandpaper. After you do that clear coat them and they should come out sharp.

ha! i tinted my si tail lights too.. but i only did half of them, so the red is tinted but not the white. my buddy did his reverse too, so his is just red, and blacked out the white. it looks sharp with the flamenco black pearl em1's.

but there is a really good how to somewhere on here.. try the search. i would for you, but i gotta get to work!

well i think im going to do the red and white. i have a flamenco black body with black wheels and a chrome lip with blacked out head lights black leather black carpeting and black stained interior trim with tin. the last thing to do is my tail lights and possibly get a stealth black vibrant muffler but i havent heard much on them???

I picked mine up from NAPA auto parts aka.. bumper to bumper.. It was around $10 but it was worth it, i'm going to do the ones on my hatch when I get it running, but my coupe looked great with them.
